the short rads are in just the light duty trucks. In my 77 camper specail i have a 5 core and that raditator is fricken hugge!
the smaller rads are 1,2 and 3 core. The truck radiators even fit in my monte!

That's what I have in the GMC now...had to have the lower hose fitting brazed on. It comes out at a steep angle instead of straight out.
